Wednesday - Easter 6

Detail from the "Colonna del Verziere" ("Column of the Greengrocery market") in Milan, Italy. The column was erected in 1580 as an ex voto for the end of the 1577 plague epidemy. It was completed only in 1673, when the statue of Jesus, sculpted by Giuseppe and Gian Battista Vismara on a drawing by Francesco Maria Richini, was added. It is also a monument bearing since 1860 the names of the patriots of Milan who fell during the "Five days of Milan"insurgency (1849). Picture by Giovanni Dall'Orto, January 11 2009.

Prayers and Intercessions
Collect of the Day | Easter 6
O God, you have prepared for those who love you such
good things as surpass our understanding: Pour into our
hearts such love towards you, that we, loving you in all
things and above all things, may obtain your promises,
which exceed all that we can desire; through Jesus Christ
our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

For All Sorts and Conditions
O God, the creator and preserver of all, we humbly beseech you for all sorts
and conditions of people; that you would be pleased to make your ways known
unto them, your saving health unto all nations. More especially we pray for
your holy Church universal; that it may be so guided and governed by your
good Spirit, that all who profess and call themselves Christians may be led
into the way of truth, and hold the faith in unity of spirit, in the bond of peace,
and in righteousness of life. Finally, we commend to your fatherly goodness all those
who are in any ways afflicted or distressed, in mind, body, or estate;
that it may please you to comfort and relieve them according to their
several necessities, giving them patience under their sufferings, and a happy
issue out of all their afflictions. And this we beg for Jesus Christ's sake. Amen.

+++
Glory to God whose power, working in us, can do infinitely more than
we can ask or imagine: Glory to him from generation to generation in
the Church, and in Christ Jesus for ever and ever. Amen.     
Ephesians 3:20,21
